the muzzle flash is what messes me up. hell, thats why i use silencer half the time, not to stay off the radar, but it seems to help with recoil and aim. (try g36c with red dot and kick, and then try it with red dot silencer, theres a huge difference). i cant seem to get used to the m60 for that reason (and the fact that the iron sights are really bad). the other lmg's seem to have the same effect, but that can probably be most accredited to the player (me)

Hmm I haven't noticed the flash on the LMGs but I definitely know what you mean, I can't even use the PP90 or any of the ARs without a silencer because of the muzzle flash, it's annoying, really throws you off target at medium and long range.

Funny, I just did test on all LMGs last night because I decided to finally make a LMG class. Here is what I concluded.

1. MG36 with Grip + Silencer. Blind eye, Ass Pro, Marksman. This is a nice long range/off the grid/anti-air class. Shoot down assault choppers faster with the gun than with a stinger. IMO Grip + Silencer are the best things for the MG36 hands down.

2. L86 with Speed + Silencer. SoH, Ass Pro, Stalker. This is more for if you want to use it more for 'rushing' well as close as you're ever gonna get to rushing with a LMG anyway lol. The L86 is pretty much the only LMG that you can get buy without using Grip. Stalker gives it that much needed added mobility.

IMO If you're gonna use a LMG you have to use Assassin + a silencer, you just move too slow not to. Plus I did test and there doesn't seem to be any damage/range drop associated with using a silencer. If you show up on the radar for any reason there's a good chance some dick is gonna run you down before you get half a chance to get where you're trying to go.

Of the two I'd say I do better with the first. Even had a 36-4 Drop Zone game on Terminal with it. If anyone has a better idea for a class that uses Speed without using the L86 I would love to hear it, I hate the L86, but it does have the best accuracy of all of them when not using grip.
